	9:09am kevlicki: Morning Joe, the best radio pundit on the air

	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Hi all.
	9:13am V Priceless: hey Joe and all!
	9:15am Vincent Nifigance: @parq thats not what trumpgenerator.com says about Joe McGasko... "Really dumb Joe McGasko begged my people for a job. Turned him down twice and then went hostile. Major loser, zero credibility!" Sad!
	9:16am Brendan: I'm here for the rich, full-bodied aromatic flavor of Surface Noise containing real Joe McGasko.
	9:16am pantz: I wish we could ship Drumpf to the 5th dimension.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Vincent: Ha ha ha
	9:19am Joe McG: BTW, after listening to the 5th Dimension sing the Declaration of Independence, I'm surprised that other groups didn't accept the challenge and sing other great historical documents.
	9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: Only two tracks in and I love it! Very woke playlist so far Joe!
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Nice, but is there going to be a test on this?

	9:23am Alessia: Hello Joe ! Long time no hear so I thought of popping by and leave a word. Big kisses from Paris

	9:35am MD: Good Morning all! Are our Legs still sore from all the walking on Saturday?
	9:35am davefromtoronto: wow - this song goes on too...
	9:37am Megaroni: Feeling so inspired by your show! Thanks Joe!
	9:37am Rob W: A fabulous artistic statement Joe... creative engagement (IMHO) = one of the very important things we can do, at least those of us who are troubled by the current state of affairs! That includes us on the radio, you dear listeners, everyone who's concerned...
	9:37am joshjoshjosh: Killin it this morning!
	9:41am JakeGould: @JoeM: Not feeling so great, but then I load that video of that neo-Nazi getting punched and I feel great.
	9:43am pantz: Joe Sandeman, right?
	9:43am David Redbranch: Morphine!!!
	9:44am V Priceless: great band - tragic story, sadly.
	9:44am Cliff in Prague: Morphine, I remember this band
	9:45am this guy: morphine. nice. and yea 2 strings. good tune here
	9:46am pantz: Ironically, I believe Joe Sandeman overdosed on heroin.
	9:47am Mark the Sardine: Morphine is unusually peppy here
	👻 9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Get Josh Breckman to hook up his robot voice machine to that trumpgenerator web site and you've got yourself a podcast.
	9:48am Cliff in Prague: "It's Pepe, it's become kind of a symbol of" -- CLONK!!!
	9:49am kym: Actually, @pantz, Mark Sandman's death wasn't drug related at all. He suffered a heart attack onstage in 90 degree heat during a show in Italy. Nice choice, Joe!
	9:50am pantz: @kym I stand corrected. Damn fake news done got me.
	9:51am Joe McG: Thanks for the swell words, Rob! @Thanks, joshjj! @JakeG: Ha!
	9:51am βrian: Lovely, this.
	9:52am KP: Yes
	9:53am βrian: And oh so Frippy!
	9:53am Brendan: Beautiful harmony
	👻 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I signed up for the Columbia Records 10 albums for a penny club back then and every month, their mailing featured The Roches.
	9:55am Joe McG: @kym: Yes, it was so sad! @Ken: Their first album (with Suzzy) is So good!
	9:56am Alessia: So sad for Maggie :( Thanks for playing this.
	9:57am Michele: Good morning!
	9:58am Joe McG: My pleasure, Alessia! Good morning, Michele! :)
	9:59am βrian: Oh, crap. I should've known. www.nytimes.com...
	9:59am listener monica: Nice!!!
	10:01am βrian: I bet Mr. Sellack is nostalgic today.
	👻 10:03am doctorjazz: Ah, missed The Roches, great song, sad about Maggie (must have seen them a kazillion times back in the day, all the folk places in the village) Glad I caught Django, happy Django Birthday!
	10:04am βrian: Django had a bit of a renaissance in the café/restaurant soundtrack world of the 80s. It got so pervasive that the sound of him made my ears shrivel. Better now.
	10:04am Brendan: Bad weather sure makes for good radio
	10:05am Greg from ZONE 5: I missed Chris Knox! Rainy days and Mondays, y'all.
	10:06am fleep: Soggy muddy greetings to Joe & everyone
	10:06am ChrisB.: Barney Kessel appears in the Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Missing Melody." He plays Barney.
	10:07am Marcel M: G'morning Joe and friends.
	10:07am Barney Grubbs: Barneys for Barneys!
	👻 10:07am doctorjazz: @ChrisB-I have to find that episode, sounds amazing.
	10:08am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Cool! I want to see that!
	10:16am pantz: Nothing like a little jaunty accordion on a gloomy day to lift the spirits.
	10:17am Brendan: And so it begins...
	10:17am Cliff in Prague: cough Joe what're you doing?!?!?!
	10:18am Sebastian: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
	10:18am Mark the Sardine: Weird Al?! Yesss
	👻 10:18am doctorjazz: Are we getting "Bohemian" again?
	10:18am βrian: Can Ren and Stimpy be far behind?
	10:19am Cliff in Prague: Next I want to hear the polka version of Institutionalized
	10:19am Sebastian: reminds me of this Bitslap episode: wfmu.org...
	10:20am fred: @Cliff: and Eleanor Rigby
	10:20am Listener Robert: There was a YouTube set to Weird Al's Bohemian Polka of modified stills from "Lost". I wonder if it's still up.
	10:20am Brendan: I cant listen to any other version with the same sense of innocence after the youtube version of the backseat drunk driver in the Mountie's cop car
	10:21am Cliff in Prague: Some day I'll convince one of youse to do a 3-hour cover show of Hotel California
	10:21am Joe McG: Someone should post a link to Ken's "Bohemian Rhapsody" show.
	10:22am Sebastian: my boss just walked in and only said: SACRILIGE!
	10:22am Ike: Sacri-LICIOUS!
	10:24am βrian: The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out.
	10:25am Stevel: Dick Hyman. Leaving that right where I found it. (I am still 14.)
	10:26am Jeff: Wow! It almost seems like you could be ready to bust out the Enoch Light soon!
	10:26am βrian: Saturday's march in Madison was a big success. About 100,000. Of course, we've had plenty of practice.
	10:26am Brendan: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/52500 (Ken's Bohemia) . Im sure theres a place in hell for perpetuating this like a Nigerian scam email.
	10:27am fred: Ken's show: www.wfmu.org...
	10:27am Brendan: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/52500
	10:28am Brendan: Tried pasting Kens bohemian show link but the app removes it
	10:29am Lewis: How have I not run across Dcik Hyman yet - he is right in my crate digging sweet spot!
	10:29am Guido from Cologne: Mr. Ondoline: Jean Jacques Perret?
	10:29am Stevel: Brian: Madison, my alma matter, definitely has had much practice. Lil' ol' red-state Fort Wayne had about 1,000. I'm OK with that.
	10:30am ChrisB.: Check the archives, Joe. Irwin recently did a whole show devoted to Ondioline.
	10:30am Cliff in Prague: Best comment thread I ever seen - "I can't take it anymore!!!! On to NPR unless Ken stops playing Queen!" "NPR is interviewing Brian May." "@egal-NOOOOOOOOOO!" "Vivian :) just joking. They're interviewing Geddy Lee."
	10:31am Claw!: I MISSED WEIRD AL???????????
	10:31am Claw!: oh... and hi, folks
	10:32am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	10:32am Claw!: but srsly - I am v upset about missing my husband
	10:33am βrian: Cliff, did you march in Prague? I saw some pics on the WaPo.
	10:33am V Priceless: RIP Overend Watts, too! : (
	10:34am annie: aha!! re: peter sarstedt, i thought i recognized that voice!
	10:34am melinda: Damn, missed Hammond Song. Didn't know Maggie died.
	10:35am Cliff in Prague: βrian - I didn't get to go, been dealing with some health issues lately....will probably have to go back to the US soon :/
	10:35am βrian: "Dear Mr. Sellack, can I have my country back?"
	10:36am Joe McG: @VP: Oh no, I didn't hear about Overend Watts! I almost brought a Mott 45 today, too! Next week then.
	10:36am annie: yeah, melinda; and there was a really great photo of her on FB. one of these FMU people i think posted it.
	10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Quit jivin' me, TURKEY!
	10:42am melinda: Thanks Annie, haven't looked at fb yet today.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha!
	10:43am BEAVO: Saw the Roches many times in the 80s Maggie was my fave. So much talent and humor.
	10:43am melinda: Jive Talkin might be my favorite disco Bee Gees song
	👻 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Heh, this will be the song in my head whenever I see Drumpf's people open their mouths to address the public.
	10:44am Joe McG: @melinda: I think it's mine, too. I love that Stevie Wonder-esque clavinet underneath.
	10:48am melinda: Haha, Ken! I think jive is sword worth reviving.
	10:49am foofs: By the late 80s, Dire Straits were an industrial disease.
	10:49am melinda: A word, not sword.
	10:50am Brendan: Im not sure it was a clavinet . Think Knopler was doing a staccato wah thing.
	10:51am Joe McG: @foofs: You ain't kiddin'!
	10:52am V Priceless: Cale! what's the flip of this, JB?
	10:52am V Priceless: whoops! JM! haha
	10:52am Joe McG: @VP: Oh, this is the flip! The A is "Cleo."
	10:53am V Priceless: ahh! Thanks!
	10:58am Emily C: Hello! This show feels like a very appropriate start to this week.
	10:58am pantz: The Ol' Possum showed up!
	10:59am Joe McG: @EC: It could be worse! :)
	11:01am Marcel M: MEOW!
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. S'funny the things you remember from eight years ago were Michelle Obama's olive gloves. Perfection. YES WE CAN.
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Oh and the joy.
	11:10am Guido from Cologne: The metronome of Can
	11:10am Guido from Cologne: With out him it would not be possible to do all the editing
	11:10am Emily C: hahah Oh, I think it's intriguing! Makes me wonder what peculiarities the rest of the week holds!
	11:12am Brendan: If he Can, you Can . Can can. Can certainly could.
	11:13am Joe McG: Thanks for your help earlier, Guido!
	👻 11:17am Brian in UK: CAN stood for Canapes, Antipasti & Nibbles. I read in the Huffington Post.
	11:18am JakeGould: The official Department of Defense account tweeted this this morning: "Social media postings sometimes provide an important window into a person’s #mentalhealth. Know what to look for. go.usa.gov/x9yVB" https://twitter.com/deptofdefense/status/823515639302262784
	11:19am Ike: @Jake, BWAHAHAHA!!!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! Apparently Jaki had a different spin. Sez Wikipedia: "The band used the names "Inner Space" and "The Can" before finally settling on "CAN". Liebezeit subsequently suggested the backronym "communism, anarchism, nihilism" for the band's name."
	11:20am βrian: Uncanny, that.
	11:21am Brendan: Now this is the kind of drone I like.
	11:24am Emily C: Me too. Very Sitar-y.
	11:26am JakeGould: @Ike: Wanna take bets on a military coup come Spring 2017?
	11:27am Parq: Can had repeated number-one hits, but the dishonest media buried them. Sad!
	11:27am Brendan: Thinking of removing my office door and replacing it with beads. Hope they don't think Ive come unhinged
	11:27am davefromtoronto: this is the ennnnd, beautiful...oops!
	11:28am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha! I ALWAYS wanted a beaded curtain in my doorway. Maybe 2017 is the year I finally get one.
	11:31am melinda: I want a beaded curtain too.
	11:31am βrian: I've got the sandalwood incense burning.
	11:31am Joe McG: Feeling the slow guitar burn!
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Joe beaded curtains are good ventilation in the summer, keeps the flies away. Better than doors especially if you have rising butts.
	11:33am βrian: Some folks don't know the accent lies on the first syllable: "Guítar"
	11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Rising butts! I like the soft clacking sound they make when a whole bunch of them are clacking together.
	11:35am βrian: Oh, Joe. Get back twerk.
	11:37am Polyus: Like the way the drum part seems to stay on the verge of disintegrating.
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Wish you could see the sky out of our window, perfect for this music. Red but going to damp, hazy fog. A cruddy smaze.
	11:38am pantz: Purple Smaze!
	11:38am Joe McG: @Polyus: It's like the Anti-Jaki.
	11:38am βrian: Soon the sky will be full of sitars.
	11:39am Parq: I think we can agree that "Rising Butts" would be a good name for a band.
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Wish this chair has a seat belt.
	11:40am frozen_peas: Do it, Brendan! Beaded curtains are the epitome of style and if they don't understand, that's their problem. Personally, I've been wanting to install a shower curtain entrance to my cubicle.
	11:41am Brendan: Incense stenture
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: @Parq rename Trump Towers with it.
	11:44am Brendan: Ill do it!
	11:46am Emily C: and beanbag chairs for all!
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe, is there a Clarence White acoustic album you would recommend. He seems to be in danger of getting lost these days.
	11:48am Joe McG: Oh, beanbag chairs most definitely!
	11:48am Parq: Peas, if you have a co-worker who's really into stuffed birds, you may want to rethink that plan.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Brian: I'll have to give that one some thought! I love the Kentucky Colonels stuff.
	11:50am βrian: I've tried beaded shower curtains. They just don't seem to work very well.
	11:52am Joe McG: @Brian: Neither do beaded toilet seats.
	11:52am Brendan: Lava lamps seem like a good idea too but wiki has some bizarre cautionary tales : In 2004, a 24-year-old man named Phillip Quinn from Kent, Washington was killed by a lava lamp on a kitchen stove while closely observing it from only a few feet away. Heat from the stove built up pressure in the lamp until it exploded and a shard of glass pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries. Quinn was found dead in his trailer home.[
	11:53am JakeGould: Who the heck puts a lava lamp on a kitchen stove?
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: A splendid time guaranteed for all. Thanks, Joe. Later!
	11:54am Emily C: I've never considered how many things just shouldn't be beaded before...
	11:54am pantz: Great show, Joe! Thanks for the Monday morning pick-me-up.
	11:54am Cliff in Prague: Somebody died?!?! Clearly the DEA needs to emergency schedule lava lamps.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Leaving you with, uh....death! Have a great week!
	11:56am Emily C: Smitten with this last set in particular. Thank you for the music, Joe!
	11:56am Parq: Thanks, Joe, for a remarkably affirming morning.
	11:56am Brendan: They go on to describe how Myth-busters investigated whether it was an urban legend and the found that if the glass didn't wound ya, you'd be scalded. Sounds like the poor guy got both. Use only approved heating bulb. .. and they seem so relaxing...
	11:56am βrian: Reminds me of the height of 70s kitsch: the cushioned vinyl toilet seat. Choose between Avocado and Harvest Gold.
	11:56am Faye: ahaha this is the song I chose from this record too! so great
	11:57am Guido from Cologne: beautiful show! thanks joe!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe. Keep breathing everyone.
	11:57am βrian: Remember Lava soap, with pumice? Onanists hate it.
	11:58am Emily C: @Brian oh, the avocado color! My grandparents' house is full of it...
	11:58am Cliff in Prague: "cushioned vinyl toilet seat" is 4 words I never want to see together again
	👻 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Better warn Daddy Garbage about the dangers of lava lamps. He's trying to corner the market on those things.
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. See ya next week barring my bizarre death strangulated by my beaded doorway.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: THANK YOU, JOE!

	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Hi all.
	9:13am V Priceless: hey Joe and all!
	9:15am Vincent Nifigance: @parq thats not what trumpgenerator.com says about Joe McGasko... "Really dumb Joe McGasko begged my people for a job. Turned him down twice and then went hostile. Major loser, zero credibility!" Sad!
	9:16am Brendan: I'm here for the rich, full-bodied aromatic flavor of Surface Noise containing real Joe McGasko.
	9:16am pantz: I wish we could ship Drumpf to the 5th dimension.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Vincent: Ha ha ha
	9:19am Joe McG: BTW, after listening to the 5th Dimension sing the Declaration of Independence, I'm surprised that other groups didn't accept the challenge and sing other great historical documents.
	9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: Only two tracks in and I love it! Very woke playlist so far Joe!

	9:44am Cliff in Prague: Morphine, I remember this band
	9:45am this guy: morphine. nice. and yea 2 strings. good tune here
	9:46am pantz: Ironically, I believe Joe Sandeman overdosed on heroin.
	9:47am Mark the Sardine: Morphine is unusually peppy here
	👻 9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Get Josh Breckman to hook up his robot voice machine to that trumpgenerator web site and you've got yourself a podcast.
	9:48am Cliff in Prague: "It's Pepe, it's become kind of a symbol of" -- CLONK!!!
	9:49am kym: Actually, @pantz, Mark Sandman's death wasn't drug related at all. He suffered a heart attack onstage in 90 degree heat during a show in Italy. Nice choice, Joe!
	9:50am pantz: @kym I stand corrected. Damn fake news done got me.
	9:51am Joe McG: Thanks for the swell words, Rob! @Thanks, joshjj! @JakeG: Ha!
	9:51am βrian: Lovely, this.
	9:52am KP: Yes
	9:53am βrian: And oh so Frippy!
	9:53am Brendan: Beautiful harmony
	👻 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I signed up for the Columbia Records 10 albums for a penny club back then and every month, their mailing featured The Roches.
	9:55am Joe McG: @kym: Yes, it was so sad! @Ken: Their first album (with Suzzy) is So good!
	9:56am Alessia: So sad for Maggie :( Thanks for playing this.
	9:57am Michele: Good morning!
	9:58am Joe McG: My pleasure, Alessia! Good morning, Michele! :)
	9:59am βrian: Oh, crap. I should've known. www.nytimes.com...
	9:59am listener monica: Nice!!!
	10:01am βrian: I bet Mr. Sellack is nostalgic today.
	👻 10:03am doctorjazz: Ah, missed The Roches, great song, sad about Maggie (must have seen them a kazillion times back in the day, all the folk places in the village) Glad I caught Django, happy Django Birthday!
	10:04am βrian: Django had a bit of a renaissance in the café/restaurant soundtrack world of the 80s. It got so pervasive that the sound of him made my ears shrivel. Better now.
	10:04am Brendan: Bad weather sure makes for good radio
	10:05am Greg from ZONE 5: I missed Chris Knox! Rainy days and Mondays, y'all.
	10:06am fleep: Soggy muddy greetings to Joe & everyone
	10:06am ChrisB.: Barney Kessel appears in the Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Missing Melody." He plays Barney.
	10:07am Marcel M: G'morning Joe and friends.
	10:07am Barney Grubbs: Barneys for Barneys!
	👻 10:07am doctorjazz: @ChrisB-I have to find that episode, sounds amazing.
	10:08am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Cool! I want to see that!
	10:16am pantz: Nothing like a little jaunty accordion on a gloomy day to lift the spirits.
	10:17am Brendan: And so it begins...
	10:17am Cliff in Prague: cough Joe what're you doing?!?!?!
	10:18am Sebastian: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
	10:18am Mark the Sardine: Weird Al?! Yesss
	👻 10:18am doctorjazz: Are we getting "Bohemian" again?
	10:18am βrian: Can Ren and Stimpy be far behind?
	10:19am Cliff in Prague: Next I want to hear the polka version of Institutionalized
	10:19am Sebastian: reminds me of this Bitslap episode: wfmu.org...
	10:20am fred: @Cliff: and Eleanor Rigby
	10:20am Listener Robert: There was a YouTube set to Weird Al's Bohemian Polka of modified stills from "Lost". I wonder if it's still up.
	10:20am Brendan: I cant listen to any other version with the same sense of innocence after the youtube version of the backseat drunk driver in the Mountie's cop car
	10:21am Cliff in Prague: Some day I'll convince one of youse to do a 3-hour cover show of Hotel California
	10:21am Joe McG: Someone should post a link to Ken's "Bohemian Rhapsody" show.
	10:22am Sebastian: my boss just walked in and only said: SACRILIGE!
	10:22am Ike: Sacri-LICIOUS!
	10:24am βrian: The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out.
	10:25am Stevel: Dick Hyman. Leaving that right where I found it. (I am still 14.)
	10:26am Jeff: Wow! It almost seems like you could be ready to bust out the Enoch Light soon!
	10:26am βrian: Saturday's march in Madison was a big success. About 100,000. Of course, we've had plenty of practice.
	10:26am Brendan: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/52500 (Ken's Bohemia) . Im sure theres a place in hell for perpetuating this like a Nigerian scam email.
	10:27am fred: Ken's show: www.wfmu.org...
	10:27am Brendan: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/52500
	10:28am Brendan: Tried pasting Kens bohemian show link but the app removes it
	10:29am Lewis: How have I not run across Dcik Hyman yet - he is right in my crate digging sweet spot!
	10:29am Guido from Cologne: Mr. Ondoline: Jean Jacques Perret?
	10:29am Stevel: Brian: Madison, my alma matter, definitely has had much practice. Lil' ol' red-state Fort Wayne had about 1,000. I'm OK with that.
	10:30am ChrisB.: Check the archives, Joe. Irwin recently did a whole show devoted to Ondioline.
	10:30am Cliff in Prague: Best comment thread I ever seen - "I can't take it anymore!!!! On to NPR unless Ken stops playing Queen!" "NPR is interviewing Brian May." "@egal-NOOOOOOOOOO!" "Vivian :) just joking. They're interviewing Geddy Lee."
	10:31am Claw!: I MISSED WEIRD AL???????????
	10:31am Claw!: oh... and hi, folks
	10:32am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	10:32am Claw!: but srsly - I am v upset about missing my husband
	10:33am βrian: Cliff, did you march in Prague? I saw some pics on the WaPo.
	10:33am V Priceless: RIP Overend Watts, too! : (
	10:34am annie: aha!! re: peter sarstedt, i thought i recognized that voice!
	10:34am melinda: Damn, missed Hammond Song. Didn't know Maggie died.
	10:35am Cliff in Prague: βrian - I didn't get to go, been dealing with some health issues lately....will probably have to go back to the US soon :/
	10:35am βrian: "Dear Mr. Sellack, can I have my country back?"
	10:36am Joe McG: @VP: Oh no, I didn't hear about Overend Watts! I almost brought a Mott 45 today, too! Next week then.
	10:36am annie: yeah, melinda; and there was a really great photo of her on FB. one of these FMU people i think posted it.
	10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Quit jivin' me, TURKEY!
	10:42am melinda: Thanks Annie, haven't looked at fb yet today.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha!
	10:43am BEAVO: Saw the Roches many times in the 80s Maggie was my fave. So much talent and humor.
	10:43am melinda: Jive Talkin might be my favorite disco Bee Gees song
	👻 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Heh, this will be the song in my head whenever I see Drumpf's people open their mouths to address the public.
	10:44am Joe McG: @melinda: I think it's mine, too. I love that Stevie Wonder-esque clavinet underneath.
	10:48am melinda: Haha, Ken! I think jive is sword worth reviving.
	10:49am foofs: By the late 80s, Dire Straits were an industrial disease.
	10:49am melinda: A word, not sword.
	10:50am Brendan: Im not sure it was a clavinet . Think Knopler was doing a staccato wah thing.
	10:51am Joe McG: @foofs: You ain't kiddin'!
	10:52am V Priceless: Cale! what's the flip of this, JB?
	10:52am V Priceless: whoops! JM! haha
	10:52am Joe McG: @VP: Oh, this is the flip! The A is "Cleo."
	10:53am V Priceless: ahh! Thanks!
	10:58am Emily C: Hello! This show feels like a very appropriate start to this week.
	10:58am pantz: The Ol' Possum showed up!
	10:59am Joe McG: @EC: It could be worse! :)
	11:01am Marcel M: MEOW!
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. S'funny the things you remember from eight years ago were Michelle Obama's olive gloves. Perfection. YES WE CAN.
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: Oh and the joy.
	11:10am Guido from Cologne: The metronome of Can
	11:10am Guido from Cologne: With out him it would not be possible to do all the editing
	11:10am Emily C: hahah Oh, I think it's intriguing! Makes me wonder what peculiarities the rest of the week holds!
	11:12am Brendan: If he Can, you Can . Can can. Can certainly could.
	11:13am Joe McG: Thanks for your help earlier, Guido!
	👻 11:17am Brian in UK: CAN stood for Canapes, Antipasti & Nibbles. I read in the Huffington Post.
	11:18am JakeGould: The official Department of Defense account tweeted this this morning: "Social media postings sometimes provide an important window into a person’s #mentalhealth. Know what to look for. go.usa.gov/x9yVB" https://twitter.com/deptofdefense/status/823515639302262784
	11:19am Ike: @Jake, BWAHAHAHA!!!
	11:19am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! Apparently Jaki had a different spin. Sez Wikipedia: "The band used the names "Inner Space" and "The Can" before finally settling on "CAN". Liebezeit subsequently suggested the backronym "communism, anarchism, nihilism" for the band's name."
	11:20am βrian: Uncanny, that.
	11:21am Brendan: Now this is the kind of drone I like.
	11:24am Emily C: Me too. Very Sitar-y.
	11:26am JakeGould: @Ike: Wanna take bets on a military coup come Spring 2017?
	11:27am Parq: Can had repeated number-one hits, but the dishonest media buried them. Sad!
	11:27am Brendan: Thinking of removing my office door and replacing it with beads. Hope they don't think Ive come unhinged
	11:27am davefromtoronto: this is the ennnnd, beautiful...oops!
	11:28am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha! I ALWAYS wanted a beaded curtain in my doorway. Maybe 2017 is the year I finally get one.
	11:31am melinda: I want a beaded curtain too.
	11:31am βrian: I've got the sandalwood incense burning.
	11:31am Joe McG: Feeling the slow guitar burn!
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Joe beaded curtains are good ventilation in the summer, keeps the flies away. Better than doors especially if you have rising butts.
	11:33am βrian: Some folks don't know the accent lies on the first syllable: "Guítar"
	11:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Rising butts! I like the soft clacking sound they make when a whole bunch of them are clacking together.
	11:35am βrian: Oh, Joe. Get back twerk.
	11:37am Polyus: Like the way the drum part seems to stay on the verge of disintegrating.
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Wish you could see the sky out of our window, perfect for this music. Red but going to damp, hazy fog. A cruddy smaze.
	11:38am pantz: Purple Smaze!
	11:38am Joe McG: @Polyus: It's like the Anti-Jaki.
	11:38am βrian: Soon the sky will be full of sitars.
	11:39am Parq: I think we can agree that "Rising Butts" would be a good name for a band.
	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Wish this chair has a seat belt.
	11:40am frozen_peas: Do it, Brendan! Beaded curtains are the epitome of style and if they don't understand, that's their problem. Personally, I've been wanting to install a shower curtain entrance to my cubicle.
	11:41am Brendan: Incense stenture
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: @Parq rename Trump Towers with it.
	11:44am Brendan: Ill do it!
	11:46am Emily C: and beanbag chairs for all!
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe, is there a Clarence White acoustic album you would recommend. He seems to be in danger of getting lost these days.
	11:48am Joe McG: Oh, beanbag chairs most definitely!
	11:48am Parq: Peas, if you have a co-worker who's really into stuffed birds, you may want to rethink that plan.
	11:50am Joe McG: @Brian: I'll have to give that one some thought! I love the Kentucky Colonels stuff.
	11:50am βrian: I've tried beaded shower curtains. They just don't seem to work very well.
	11:52am Joe McG: @Brian: Neither do beaded toilet seats.
	11:52am Brendan: Lava lamps seem like a good idea too but wiki has some bizarre cautionary tales : In 2004, a 24-year-old man named Phillip Quinn from Kent, Washington was killed by a lava lamp on a kitchen stove while closely observing it from only a few feet away. Heat from the stove built up pressure in the lamp until it exploded and a shard of glass pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries. Quinn was found dead in his trailer home.[
	11:53am JakeGould: Who the heck puts a lava lamp on a kitchen stove?
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: A splendid time guaranteed for all. Thanks, Joe. Later!
	11:54am Emily C: I've never considered how many things just shouldn't be beaded before...
	11:54am pantz: Great show, Joe! Thanks for the Monday morning pick-me-up.
	11:54am Cliff in Prague: Somebody died?!?! Clearly the DEA needs to emergency schedule lava lamps.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Leaving you with, uh....death! Have a great week!
	11:56am Emily C: Smitten with this last set in particular. Thank you for the music, Joe!
	11:56am Parq: Thanks, Joe, for a remarkably affirming morning.
	11:56am Brendan: They go on to describe how Myth-busters investigated whether it was an urban legend and the found that if the glass didn't wound ya, you'd be scalded. Sounds like the poor guy got both. Use only approved heating bulb. .. and they seem so relaxing...
	11:56am βrian: Reminds me of the height of 70s kitsch: the cushioned vinyl toilet seat. Choose between Avocado and Harvest Gold.
	11:56am Faye: ahaha this is the song I chose from this record too! so great
	11:57am Guido from Cologne: beautiful show! thanks joe!
	👻 11:57am Brian in UK: Nice one, Joe. Keep breathing everyone.
	11:57am βrian: Remember Lava soap, with pumice? Onanists hate it.
	11:58am Emily C: @Brian oh, the avocado color! My grandparents' house is full of it...
	11:58am Cliff in Prague: "cushioned vinyl toilet seat" is 4 words I never want to see together again
	👻 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Better warn Daddy Garbage about the dangers of lava lamps. He's trying to corner the market on those things.
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks Joe. See ya next week barring my bizarre death strangulated by my beaded doorway.
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: THANK YOU, JOE!
